Florida could remove the majority of mentions of climate change from state law | A bill backed by the speaker of the Florida House would also make wide ranging changes to state energy policies.

Two can play that game,
Climate Change also plans on removing Florida eventually.

Just the tip. The area that is less than 15’ above sea level.

SpacetimeMachine@lemmy.world · 9 months ago

That’s a lot more than “just the tip” tbh

Florida can just sink at this point I don’t even give a shit anymore about that sad excuse for a state.

MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world · 10 months ago

Thankfully, Florida is a state that isn’t subject to weather extremes, so things will be fine.

Florida is fucking COASTAL STATE. GOD DAMMMMM

nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de · 9 months ago

In some respects the most coastal state. (Don’t worry, I’m actually from Michigan, which is having it’s own water level problems, but thankfully doesn’t have DeSantis in charge)

OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works · 9 months ago

I don’t think they could be more costal without becoming an island.

If they want to pretend climate change isn’t real, they should lose all federal funding for addressing it.

Most of Florida will ignore this for 2-4 years, then some hurricane that breaks records will chart a line straight through Florida then things will go from bad to worse.

Insurance companies that have been acting shady will be vindicated as they will not have to pay billions for housing rebuilding.

The general public will have to mass migrate up north as housing and general logistics will be a much harder strain.

Which will be an even bigger issue when the housing market in Florida crashes.

Couple this with Hawaii’s new research that Lunar cycles will make coastal tides larger for the next 10-15 years starting around mid-2030s*…

Guys if we don’t believe in it then it’s not real.

Rising sea levels hate this one trick!

Telorand@reddthat.com · 10 months ago

Yes, good…keep enticing the braindead among us to move to Florida. Surely, it won’t be wiped out by a Category 6 hurricane and rising sea levels…

teamevil@lemmy.world · 9 months ago

Listen man, how the hell are we supposed to fix the damn state with that mindset…my dumbass moved there…which was stupid but…I’m canceling out one vote for ignorance and hate…

HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social · 9 months ago

Yeah, at the rate idiots are migrating to, I don’t think that’s an effective choice. Better to run like your ass is on fire and your hair is catching before they can kill you with the stupid.
